Variable names:
depth	depth in core (cm)
age		corrected radiocarbon age
biopal	biogenic opal (%)
CaCO3	calcium carbonate (%)
Corg	organic carbon (%)
DBD*	dry bulk density (g cm-3)
sed rate	linear sedimentation rate (cm kyr-1)
bulk MAR	bulk mass accumulation rate (g cm-2 kyr-1)
biopal MAR	biogenic opal mass accumulation rate  (g cm-2 kyr-1)

*DBD calculated from measured %biopal regression with measured DBD.  Equation is:  DBD = (%biopal-0.315)/0.129 (Gardner, unpublished data).
Data precision:
biopal	0.2%
CaCO3	0.1%
Corg	0.2%
